Mother of Karoline Leavitt's nephew ordered released after ICE detention

Although the Department of Homeland Security established at the time that Bruna Caroline Ferreira had a criminal record, her release was ordered

Ordenan liberar a la madre del sobrino de Karoline Leavitt tras detencin por ICE

Unlike dozens of similar stories, the Donald Trump administration made a different decision in the case of Brazilian Bruna Caroline Ferreira, who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in early November in Revere, Massachusetts, and taken into custody at a facility in Louisiana.

The mother of the White House press secretary's nephew, Karoline Leavitt, was ordered released from the immigration detention center on Monday, according to her lawyer.

An immigration judge ordered Bruna Caroline Ferreira, who is in the process of obtaining a Green Card and previously held DACA status, to be released on a minimum bond of $1,500.

Ferreira's lawyer, Todd Pomerleau, said he argued at a hearing that his client is not a "criminal illegal alien," as described by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), nor does she pose a flight risk.

Ferreira is expected to be released on Monday or Tuesday, according to Pomerleau.

The case would be just one among thousands of Brazilians who have been arrested amid the tightening of immigration policy in the United States that has marked the second term of Republican Donald Trump.

However, she gained notoriety because Ferreira has a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The detainee is the mother of the 11-year-old nephew of Trump's press secretary and had a romantic relationship with her brother, Michael Leavitt. ICE arrested Bruna Caroline Ferreira, allegedly an undocumented immigrant of Brazilian origin with a history of assault. She entered the United States on a B2 tourist visa that required her to leave the country before June 6, 1999, the DHS spokesperson stated at the time. She is currently at the ICE Processing Center in South Louisiana and is in deportation proceedings. Under the administration of President Trump and Secretary Noem, all individuals who are in the United States illegally are subject to deportation, he added.
